Hmm. How much money have you paid to use it ? Enough
to employ one or more a developer full time ? No ?
Then perhaps it's a bit much to expect it to be developed
and supported like a commercial product.

It seems that you are deliberately conflating Cinepaint and
Oyranos in terms of them being dead or alive. Again, hardly fair.

If Oyranos's technical or architectural limitations are what is
handicapping it, then by all means point out what you think they
are. I certainly have my own reservations about it. But it's
possible that some of it is purely opportunistic or structural,
since someone being employed full time by Red Hat
has a huge advantage in getting their work into wide distribution,
irrespective of its underlying merit compared to the alternatives.
